and the Daisy Award goes to.... James' night nurse!

They were both awesome, as were a whole host of other doctors and nurses of whom we do not have pictures.

This nurse, the lovely Megan, we nominated for the Daisy Award, an award for outstanding nursing. And out of more than 150 other nominations at OSF, Megan won. :)

Her nomination:

Megan constantly gave my son James pep talks. She lovingly cared for him and believed in him. She gave him every opportunity to succeed at bottle feeding and encouraged his development with play and conversations. She even bought him clothes because the NICU had nothing big enough. Megan cared for and loved my son like I am able to now that he is home. That means the world to me.

Fulton Sheen clarifying

Prayer for Canonization of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Father, source of all holiness, You raise up within the Church in every age men and women who serve with heroic love and dedication. You have blessed Your Church through the life and ministry of Your faithful servant, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. He has written and spoken well of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, and was a true instrument of the Holy Spirit in touching the hearts of countless people.

If it be according to your Will, for the honor and glory of the Most Holy Trinity and for the salvation of souls, we ask You to move the Church to proclaim him a saint. We ask this prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen
